Data Destruction for a Data Center

Destroying Failed Drives

A data center or “cloud” as it is sometimes called, can be used for running software applications, alongside providing storage for business files, reports, emails, sensitive documents and data. When a drive fails or is swapped out, it has to be recycled by law, but what about the data held on the hard drive?

Newtech specializes in the removal and disposal (via recycling) of data center hardware. This service includes data purging, hard drive sterilization, and HDD, SSD and tape shredding. If you or your IT provider needs to dispose of just one disc or 1000 hard drives, Newtech can help. We offer either ‘on-site hard drive shredding’ with our fleet of hard drive shredding trucks and mobile shredders or hard drive data destruction at our secure facility. Call now: (732) 564 3110.

Data Destruction Process

Disposal via Recycling

When it comes to disposing of old computer equipment, failed, obsolete e-waste and I.T. infrastructure the Newtech’s motto is: “Recycle Responsibly, Legally & Ethically”! When recycling old hard drives and destroying data we like to add two more words to our motto: SECURELY and PERMANENTLY!

The process for disposing of old hard drives and data storage devices starts with removing the disk and performing a data wipe or what is commonly called a disk purge. Once the drive has had its memory wiped clean it is then sterilized with an incredibly powerful EMP, which makes the disk useless. The dead hard drive is then shredded into flakes of plastic and metal. These flakes are then mechanically separated and recycled. This process is the ultimate, most secure way to destroy data.

Phones & Tablets

Phone & Tablet Recycling

When it comes time to replace that old iPad with the cracked screen or throw out your old used cell phones, how do you wipe clean their memory so nothing can be retrieved? More importantly, how do you destroy the drives of 100+ smart phones and tablets without it taking years? The answer in a nutshell is Newtech.

Newtech Recycling offers a fully secure, eco-friendly disposal and data destruction service. We can permanently delete all contacts and destroy all data held on office telephones, cell phones, smart phones, and tablets in minutes. Furthermore, your business old mobile devices are recyclable, which means that the metals, glass, and plastics don’t end up in landfill sites but instead end up back in circulation as brand new products.

Shred at Your Location

We can bring our mobile hard drive shredders directly to where you needed it call (732) 564 3110.

Laptops and Workstations

Laptops & Desktops

Before you dispose of, recycle, redeploy, donate or sell your old computer, you want to make sure the hard drive is properly emptied first - especially if it is an old business laptop or desktop. Incorrectly formatted or wiped hard drives that contained confidential information can lead to serious consequences under Federal and State privacy laws if the information is found and misused.

Newtech Recycling Inc. works with the business community, offering secure and fully legal data destruction and hard drive wiping services for used laptops and workstations. We are also able to shred old hard drives, external drives and data storage systems, making it impossible to read or recover data from your old hard drives ever again. If you need help recycling old business laptops and desktops please contact Newtech Recycling Inc. today.

Flash / USB Drives Wipe

Flash / USB Drive Shredding

A USB flash drive (also known as a USB drive, USB stick, thumb drive, pen drive, jump drive, disk key, disk on key, flash-drive, memory stick or USB memory) is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface. You would be amazed at the number of employees that use these for storing work data.

The USB drive is the single biggest security weakness businesses face today! If one of these drives is lost, not only is sensitive business data gone forever, businesses could be liable for breaking privacy laws. Many companies recognize that their staff use USB drives to carry documents and files from device to device. These companies work with Newtech to ensure that they are wiped and disposed of correctly before issuing new ones.

Shredding CD's DVD's & Backup Tapes

Shredding Discs & Tapes

Optical disc & tape disposal is a complex business. Don’t throw your business old CD’s, DVD’s and tapes out with the trash. They will not get recycled properly, and end up in landfills. Most importantly, if they contain business data they need to be destroyed before being recycled.

Newtech Recycling Inc. offers a turnkey solution for the disposal and recycling of discs and tapes. You can either send us all your old media or we can collect it with your other e-waste, such as old laptops, computers and monitors. Please note that all CDs, DVDs and Tapes will be shredded – however, digital tape will be run through an EMP first to ensure all data is permanently destroyed. If you have any questions about shredding computer discs or tapes please contact us.

Shredding SSD & HDD

SSD vs. HDD Data Destruction

The conventional hard disk drive technology can currently store more data than a solid-state drive. However, an SSD has hidden data space it uses to extend the lifetime of its memory. It is this hidden data space that makes deleting files slightly more of a hit and miss operation, even with DOD hard drive wipes.

Even powerful magnets have little effect on SSD, despite killing the conventional HDD. Our EMP generator creates a considerable amount of damage but the only way to be 100% sure the data is deleted from a SSD forever is to granulate the drive. Newtech achieves this by using a shredder, which has been designed to crush and shred the SSD into granules.
